The Strategic Planning process, begun with a Board of Trustees retreat in June, is in full swing on campus with students, faculty, staff, and alumni involved in working groups on an aggressive timeline. A 24-member Steering Committee, co-chaired by David Lopatto, chair of the faculty, and Angela Voos, special assistant to the President, leads the working groups which are focused on idea generation and data collection for five key topics:

Distinctiveness of Grinnell College

Teaching and learning

Enrollment

Post-Graduation Success

Alumni Engagement

Each working group will also consider how the specified topic can address eight cross-cutting themes important to the college community. The one-year timeline anticipates that working groups will submit ideas by the end of fall semester for budget, market testing and analysis in the spring.
